I live only 14 miles from this restaurant and for the first time I ate their meal. Literally surprised by the quality and the way it was served. A group of people (14) ate a variety of food. Everyone of us was happy and satisfied. Excellent drink and beer selection. Service is professional knowledgeable and polite. Strongly recommend. I'll be back for sure with my family.

This place stinks, and OMG is it to die for, it starts like an old cartoon with the scent dancing and pulling you by your nostrils. The staff was friendly, quick, efficient and the food as you can see was served photo ready, and yes all of it was mouth watering. How such a great BBQ place landed so high North, I'm not sure but this is a gem worth checking out. Once isn't enough, we must return here and sample and explore more for it was like giving your tongue and palette a reward.

5/21/24 Order: Buffalo Wings & a Small Cheese Pizza I really enjoyed the meal! The buffalo chicken wings seemed a little expensive for 12, but they were so good, it's passable. The cheese pizza was only 10 (since it's 10 on Tuesdays!) which is a great deal! I'd say it's a great buy. I got a little tired of eating it halfway through, but the first bite was delicious and I'm excited to have it tomorrow as leftovers! Overall, if you're willing to pay 10-20 per person, definitely go to Chow!

Wish we found this place earlier! We've been missing out on great eats! Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork and PIZZA all in one place. Great bar seating area with top quality Bourbon.

Went here for the first time. I had The Rip burger, It was the best burger I have ever had. Service was also excellent. Can not wait to go back.

This was quite tasty. We got the fried pickles and they were quiet good. The breading wasn't too greasy or too thick on them. I got the brisket sandwich and my GF got the pulled pork (both pictured). She wished that her sandwich had a bit more meat. Mine was filled decently. The smell from the road is what brought our attention to it and then the reviews sealed the deal

The food was very delicious, the attention and the atmosphere were good, very friendly people, I will definitely come back.

My spouse and I had the pleasure of dining at the establishment and thoroughly enjoyed the pizza. The wait staff demonstrated exceptional customer service, ensuring that we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our experience.
